Murphy unfiltered on the NRA: what’s next, arming kids?

Connecticut’s freshman Sen. Chris Murphy publicly dissed the National Rifle Association via Twitter this afternoon over its support of arming teachers in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

“I would honestly not be surprised if the NRA proposes next that all school children be armed. These guys are unreal,” Murphy Tweeted.

Murphy’s Twitter beef with the gun lobby comes in response to the release of a controversial new NRA television ad that attempts to paint President Obama as an “elitist hypocrite” for sending his two daughters to school with armed guards while the children of most Americans do not get the same benefit.
